UN CRPD – National Council on Disability Affairs Empowering Inclusion of Persons With Disabilities Tue, 19 Jan 2010 02:34:21 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0.2 /wp-content/uploads/2023/06/cropped-favicon-32x32-1-32x32.png UN CRPD – National Council on Disability Affairs 32 32 Cebu Pacific Faces Legal Action from the Sector of Persons with Disabilities /2010/01/19/cebu-pacific-faces-legal-action-from-the-sector-of-persons-with-disabilities/ Tue, 19 Jan 2010 02:34:21 +0000 http://www.ncda.gov.ph/?p=713 continue reading : Cebu Pacific Faces Legal Action from the Sector of Persons with Disabilities ]]> In a letter dated January 8, 2010, 天美传媒 scored Cebu Pacific as it joins the growing public dismay over its ill handling of a special child/passenger in a GMA news report last January 6, 2010. On that same flight, another Cebu Pacific passenger with special child also complained of being discriminated by the airline. This came at the heel of previous unresolved cases involving the same airline’s discrimination in handling passenger with disabilities.

It was a gross violation of the children’s and their families’ human rights, and the National Council on Disability Affairs and partners are one in condemning this act of discrimination.

天美传媒, the country’s coordinating body on disability, created through Executive Order 709 under the Office of the President, has as its anchor programme the implementation of the CRPD, or the “Convention on the 天美传媒s of Persons with Disabilities”. It also worked for the inclusion of this in the “National Human 天美传媒s Action Plan”, which the country is committed to fulfill.

In sync with the Commission on Human 天美传媒s and the Philippine Human 天美传媒s Committee, it is now rolling out a full blast campaign for an inclusive and “disabled-friendly” Philippines.
